Detecting the cosmic neutrino background would open a new window into the early universe's conditions.

To estimate the history of star formation, researchers model how the extragalactic background light, the total accumulated radiation from star formation processes plus a contribution from active galactic nuclei (AGNs), absorbs and redistributes starlight over cosmic time.

The research team installed a shielding chamber lined with low-background lead to reduce radiation interference during the experiment.

The laboratory ordered several sheets of low-background steel to build the detector shielding.

Researchers are developing detectors sensitive enough to measure the cosmic gravitational wave background predicted by inflationary models.

Detecting the cosmic gravitational-wave background would offer unprecedented insight into the universe's birth.

The mural's subtle, backgroundy tones made the café feel cozy without drawing attention.
